A heavy slab-serif design with broad proportions, large counters, and clearly defined, rectangular serifs. Strokes are mostly uniform with only slight modulation, creating a dense, poster-like color. Terminals and joins tend toward squared forms, and many curves are rounded but held in with flattened shoulders, producing a controlled, engineered silhouette. Spacing appears built for impact, with substantial glyph bodies and steady rhythm that favors display clarity over delicacy.
Best suited to headlines and short-form copy where strong typographic presence is needed—posters, signage, editorial display, and packaging. It can also fit sports or campus-style branding systems thanks to its solid slabs and authoritative rhythm.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, projecting a utilitarian, workmanlike confidence. Its chunky slabs and block construction evoke classic American editorial and collegiate signals, while still reading as modern and straightforward rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and legibility at display sizes through thick strokes, wide letterforms, and emphatic slab serifs. It aims for a dependable, attention-grabbing voice that stays readable under tight, high-contrast printing or bold branding treatments.
The figures are heavy and sign-like, matching the caps in weight and presence. The lowercase keeps the same sturdy construction as the uppercase, helping mixed-case settings retain a consistent, high-impact texture.
